I like the fact that the FX format gives me a nice shallow DOF for equivalent view on DX format. I love the textured and background with a lot of character possible with the FX format.

As always your thoughts are much appreciated.

Ram: Inspired DOF/POF choice and excellent whites against that complementary BG. Superb shot.>=))>

I love the light, airy feeling to this photo Ram. Excellent point of focus. I also like the 'flying' feeling to the back petals.

This gives the flower a wind-blown look, which I find enjoyable and dynamic. Then I thought maybe it was Lensbaby... Excellent dof/pof and bokeh expertly composed.
D810! NICE! Lucky you!

Good experimentation Ram. You have inspired me to try the FX/DX switch more often.

Congrats on the D810. Looking forward to some spectacular images with this tool in your skilled hands.
